Local Nectar is a cider that was handcrafted using apples solely from our orchard partners in Vermont. It is light and crisp, semi-dry, and a pure reflection of the fantastic apple crop Vermont is known for. The work of our orchard partners yielded high quality juice to work with, and our cider makers let that quality shine through in the final liquid.

The cider 6.9% ABV and is available on draft now! It will hit store shelves in 12-ounce bottles and 16-ounce cans this fall! It is a local nectar crafted with our neighbors, to be enjoyed in the hills of the ‘802’.

To celebrate this monumental moment in our history, we have crafted a special batch of cider. We are calling it Woodchuck Ciderbration 23 to celebrate our 23 years in the craft cider game.

Woodchuck Hard Cider reinvented the American hard cider category from a two-car garage in 1991. Steady focus on the quality of the liquid inside the bottle has driven our success and taken us to heights we didn’t dream possible. Our new cidery stands as a commitment to continued innovation of the finest handcrafted hard ciders in the world. Ciderbration 23 celebrates both our past and bright future with a champagne style cider full of fresh apple taste. It is 6.9%ABV, packaged in a 750ML corked bottle, and available in very limited quantities in Vermont and at our new Cider House in Middlebury!

Vermont is our home. 802 is our area code.
Real Cider from a Real Place™. We hope you enjoy.
